    I am considering amping up the current setup I have, that is the Hyper-Flow cats and Tubi exhaust. I"m looking for a little more gusto in terms of accentuation of the pitch and overall loudness. Should I look at the air filters, and/or other exhaust/header improvements w/in the tubi line up?

    Dude, Ferrari motors are amped up pretty much from the factory, leaving you with very few feasible options for improvement. You already did most of what u can do without real expense and getting into the motor. Intake/exhaust, chipping are about it. Next is turbocharging. Now you r going to get into some cash. Y don't u just buy a 355? Of course, you will prolly start this process all over... :D

    Straight Pipes !!!

    I have two friends with 355's, both with Tubi, one with Hyper-flows, one with Straight Pipes.

    I'll say it again .... Straight Pipes !!!

    Do Hyperflow's give you that stinky smell that comes with having no cats??

    for clarification, I'm not looking to boost horse-power, I'm looking to "max" the note. For those that know, straight pipes are the final solution but I didn't know since I already have installed Hyper Flow/Tubit exhasut last year if I should consider getting rid of "hyper-flow cats and just go full-monty or whether there is something that can be done w/ manifolds or other sections of the "piping" system that may give me the same result as straight pipes.

    Manifolds barely change the sound, you probably won't notice much of a difference, so if you're going for sound only no point in it.

    18" straight pipes, or no pipes at all.
